HydraFacial is a non-invasive skincare procedure that's widely recognized as a safe and effective way to combat acne. It uses a patented Vortex technology and unique tip to rid the skin of acne-causing and pore-clogging agents, while also diminishing hyperpigmentation and scarring.
The salicylic acid actually is a decongestant. So it goes into the skin and it actually pulls out, unclogs the pores and pulls out whatever's in the skin. And because the Hydrafacial in general is a deep cleansing treatment, it's completely normal to have breakouts afterwards.
One treatment every 4 weeks is typically powerful enough to address a broad range of aesthetic concerns, from anti-aging to acne-control.
How often should you get a hydrafacial? We strongly recommend that you come in for a HydraFacial solutions every two weeks. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin type and skin quality as well as review your personal aesthetic goals.
Hydrafacial is the most effective treatment for blackheads
Hydrafacial provides an even and deep skin cleanse. It clears off the pores fully. Reaches the hardest areas and gives you the best results for blackheads.
HydraFacials are renowned as excellent facial options (think of a facial on steroids), and they help patients fight the cystic acne battle, too. Because the HydraFacial combines microdermabrasion, chemical peel and a deep-cleansing facial combined, you have a lot of power in one small appointment.
After a HydraFacial, which typically takes just 30 minutes or less, some redness may occur. This is often the only side effect of a HydraFacial and is typically mild and resolves quickly on its own. If desired, patients can apply makeup after HydraFacial treatment to conceal any redness.
Hydrafacial products are non-invasive which means no skin is punctured and no side effects can be used for the treatment. Such facials work on all skin types and damage them absolutely.
The HydraFacial is said to help improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance. This is due to the deep exfoliation that cleans your pores, removing debris and allowing for better penetration of face serums tailored to your skin type.
The quick answer to this is once every four weeks. With just one therapy, we provide the effects of microdermabrasion, a chemical peel, and a hydrating mask. Skin needs time to heal after.
LED Facial
LED facials emit a combination of white, red, and blue infrared light. These lights work on the tone, collagen, and bacteria in your skin. The goal of this type of light therapy is meant to fight against active acne and is ideal for people with sensitive skin.
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid which also exfoliates the skin and works better for the treatment of whiteheads, blackheads and acne.
Yes, there is no doubt that the benefits of Hydrafacial Treatment are well worth the cost. On average, HydraFacial costs between $150 and $300. While this seems a little on the high side, it is a small price to pay for such an investment in your skin.
Best for: Microneedling is a good option over HydraFacial for those who have a deep, permanent acne scars and other facial scarring, and is recommended for all skin tones. It is not a good choice for those who are at a higher risk of infection or have a low tolerance for pain or needles.
Hydrafacials are a much more thorough and extensive skin care treatment than chemical peels, with the added benefit of the hydration serum on your skin. Both products exfoliate and give your skin a gentle peel.
While this may vary from person to person, you can expect the results of your HydraFacial to last for at least 7 days. In many cases, those results will last much longer. If you do notice that the results of your facial have started to fade, you can always have an additional treatment to maintain those results.
Antiox+™ or Antiox-6 serum is delivered to nourish and protect skin with Antioxidants, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. The unique Vortex-Fusion® serum delivery system is what sets the HydraFacial MD apart from other procedures.
Typically, HydraFacials can range between $150 to $300 per treatment. The final cost depends on the geographic location of the MediSpa, the experience of the administrating medical esthetician, and the types of boosters and extras your skin requires.
The four Hydrafacial Booster options are, Brightalive Boost, Growth Factor Boost, Dermabuilder Boost, and Britenol Boost. We've broken each one down by what it does and helps with, so that you know which one is right for you! For the rest of May, all boosters are complimentary with your Hydrafacial service.
Facial scrubs and rough washcloths can irritate your already inflamed skin, which may ultimately lead to worsening redness and more breakouts. You'll have better luck fighting against acne if you remain gentle when cleansing your skin.
Warnings About Facials for Acne
Facials are not recommended for severe, inflammatory acne. Exfoliation can lead to more severe inflammation, while extraction can result in acne scars. Extractions during facials can cause severe cosmetic problems if they're done improperly.
HydraFacial takes less than one hour to complete and the effects are visible for about one week. You will immediately see results after your first session, but more than one session can be beneficial. For long term skin health, we recommend including treatment as part of your monthly skincare routine.
Our recommendation: As the weather starts to cool, don't wait for seasonal problems to occur. October or early November is a great time to book your HydraFacial so you can prep your skin for harsher weather and dry air.
For the best and most lasting results, we recommend patients get a series of 4 to 6 HydraFacials and space them 2 to 4 weeks apart.
